without Kevin Durant， Russell Westbrook, Thunder limitations will be tested
没有杜兰特，威斯布鲁克和雷霆队的短板将经受考验
If obstruction breeds creativity, then Russell Westbrook's upcoming season promises to be one of the most inventive individual performances the NBA has ever seen.
如果困境会激发创造力，那么拉塞尔-威斯布鲁克即将到来的赛季将会成为NBA有史以来最有创造力的个人表演之一。
Oklahoma City's reworked roster is marked by its limitations—namely, the loss of one of the NBA's most versatile forwards and committed floor spacers.
俄克拉荷马城的球员名单显示出他们的短板——换句话说，他们失去了NBA最全面的小前锋和球场空间创造者。
Everything the Thunder do will change without Kevin Durant. Trading away Thunder staple Serge Ibaka, too, will ensure that Westbrook and friends encounter an entirely different on-court geometry from what they might be accustomed to.
在杜兰特离开后，雷霆将改变他们所做的每一件事。交易走球队基石赛尔吉-伊巴卡，同样也确定威斯布鲁克和他的队友将不得不改变他们已经习惯的阵容打法，适应全新的战术和阵型。
Do not underestimate Durant's pull on opposing defenses.
不要低估杜兰特对对方防守的牵制。
In previous seasons, opponents would have to rework their defensive game plans to account for the downhill charge of Westbrook's driving game.
在过去的几个赛季里，对手不得不重新布置他们的防守计划以应对威斯布鲁克掌控比赛时的冲击。
They still will. But what gave those strategic decisions their painful tradeoffs was the idea that Durant loomed, waiting on the wings or curling up and around a screen at an inopportune time.
他们仍旧会这样做，虽然这是一个艰难的战术选择，因为他们还要时刻防守忽隐忽现的杜兰特在侧翼策应或者翻身跳投，在不合时宜的时间出现在屏幕周围。
There is a mental tax in knowing that Durant could be activated at a moment's notice, one that has since been relieved. What remains is one of the league's most furious attackers, albeit one whose sharp, incisive drives will be dulled just slightly by the changing state around him.
杜兰特会在某个被认为已经解除危险的时刻爆发，这对对手是一个很大的心理负担。杜兰特仍然是联盟中最残暴的攻击手之一，即使他状态不佳，较之以前犀利、尖锐的运动能力有些轻微下降。
How Westbrook responds to the changes in coverage and spacing makes for one of this season's biggest questions.
威斯布鲁克会对场上覆盖和空间的变化作出怎样的回应是这个赛季最大的问号。
There is no question that Westbrook sacrificed in playing alongside another superstar; that much was evident in his unbridled game whenever Durant would be sidelined by injury.
毫无疑问，威斯布鲁克为了与另一位超级巨星一起打球作出了牺牲，这在杜兰特因伤退场而威斯布鲁克在比赛中不受约束得到证明。
Playing without Durant could take those attempts to an extreme; Westbrook will only be more entitled to operate as he sees fit without another star to counterbalance, while the frustrations of playing on a team with few capable long-range shooters will tempt his quick trigger.
在失去杜兰特之后，这种情况将会变得更加极端，没有明星队友占用球权，威斯布鲁克将会被赋予更多的球场控制权，而球队缺少中远距离投篮能力也让他尝试更多的快速突破。
